crowdfunding capoeira cidadã

In November 2000, a group of capoeiristas and admirers of popular culture, began to organize in order to use the full potential of Capoeira as a tool for social inclusion and citizenship. In 2002 we started teaching Capoeira in a public school in the Cidade de Deus (City of God), but wanted to do more! So, in 2005 founded the Civil Association Capoeira Cidadã. Since December 2007, we have steady partnership with MERCK SA. We are members of Rio de Janeiro´s Network of Pontos de Cultura (Cultural Centers).

In 2009, we began to have its own headquarters, the CULTURAL CENTER CAPOEIRA CITIZEN a familiar space of development of citizenship and popular culture, highly recognized and prestigious in the community.

During these 10 years of work, with more than 1,200 students attended public schools, created a social technology, which uses Capoeira as a tool for education and social inclusion.

All activities take place in an integrated manner. In addition to the classes of Capoeira, students take classes in educational support, which uses music, texts and games from popular culture to aid in learning mathematical concepts and Portuguese. In handcraft classes, children develop and express their artistic skills, building Capoeira instruments, constructing, drawing and painting, inspired by the themes of popular culture. Every week, videos are displayed on citizenship and popular culture, assisting in the recognition process and construction of new horizons. We also have the Master Peixinho´s Library, specializing in books about Capoeira, popular culture, and various titles for children and youth.

Civil Association Capoeira Cidadã is a non-profit organization whose mission is: Include socially children and adolescents at risk, through education and professional training in various areas related to Capoeira, always preserving and disseminating this art form.
